Kitchen gardens, located near the culinary center of the house, are beautiful as well as functional. In addition to salad greens and other vegetables, they can provide herbs, edible flowers, and even cutting flowers to decorate the table. With a long history, epitomized in the popular reconstructed gardens at Monticello and Mount Vernon, there is a renewed interest in kitchen gardens today. In this practical book by gourmet horticulturist Cathy Wilkinson Brash, you'll find all the information you'll need to grow a beautiful kitchen garden in your back yard, or even on your terrace.
